About this listen

Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.

It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.

When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more.

He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.

From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.

This is her story.

Happy Doggo - Happy Reader.

I've followed Niall and Happy Doggo for almost 3 yrs now. For followers of their journey, you're going to love this book! It's sad, beautiful - certainly bitter sweet, but it's hopeful & reminds us that we are all a part of the happy doggo community. I will always lend my voice to animal rescue and truly beleive in Nialls mission. For those who struggle with mental health and / or addiction - you will find connection to the material too. 5 stars. Much love to all the doggos past, present and future of whom I've loved/love to follow.

A Heartbreaking, but Beautiful Story About Amazing Dogs and the Incredible People that Care for Them

The work that Niall and the team do is absolutely incredible and hearing all of the stories left me in tears. I adore dogs and whilst there's so much evil in the world, it's comforting to know that people like Niall and his team exist
